There may be hope for a Max Holloway comeback after the 'blessed' star of UFC has revealed that they 'work' on a comeback.
Holloway outlined Justin Gaethje on UFC 300 to secure one of the largest highlights of the height in the history of UFC. At the moment, the Hawaiian superstar challenged Ilia Topuria's featherweight crown on UFC 308. 'El Matador' stopped Holloway with a nasty left hook in the third round.
This was the first TKO loss for Holloway, who left an exclusive club from UFC hunters who had never been brought down in their long career -including Jon Jones.
Holloway does not let this setback hold him down.

'Working on the date' … Max Holloway reveals positive news about Return UFC Fight
In response to a fan on X on 12 February, Holloway revealed that he and his team “work on the date” for his next fight. The typical change for winning hunters is four to six months, even longer for losing hunters such as Holloway.
The best gamble from a fan for a Holloway -Comback would be on the International Fight Week from 26 June, possibly a rematch against top lightweight competition and former rival Charles Oliveira.
The hype surrounding the fight was stimulated by Michael Bisping, who endorsed Holloway-Oliveira 2 as Co-Main of Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall.
The UFC has also unveiled its international schedule for Vechtweek, with UFC 317 as its crown event. There will be a UFC Hall of Fame induction on 26 June, followed by UFC X on June 27-28 and UFC 317 on 28 June.
Max Holloway is still the BMF champion
It is easy to forget that Holloway retains his worst mother (BMF) status of his knockout about Gaethje. This opens a new path of matchmaking for the former Vederweight champion.
The star power of Holloway could exclude him from all competition fights in the featherweight division, but could ensure a great BMF showdown with different competitors.
First and foremost, the rematch with Oliveira is. 'Do Bronx' has unfinished things with Holloway and is indeed eligible for the title. He could also have a trilogy with Dustin Poirier – although it does not seem necessary – 'The Diamond' has beaten twice, but a third fight would still sell.
